heckyeahpathy posted:It's still not great if the QG deck plays smart. My QG deck has very few other melee cards besides the bears, so if I get in a position where I don't have Gremist or a clear weather in hand I just play the QG as late as possible in the round. You can keep other rows under frost as well though. I don't know, QG is one of the few matchups I feel pretty good about with my weather monsters. Certainly a lot better than morkvarg damage decks.

I slotted in a D-Bomb, thanks for that suggestion. That also helped against the Reavers deck.

If I recorded myself playing a game and posted it up, would anyone be willing to review it? We used to do this semi-regularly in the Hearthstone threads but maybe it's harder for Gwent..

Caretaker is loving great, he was the first Legendary I crafted and he upped my winrate considerably. I gotta say though, slotting in that Dimeritium Bomb was the best decision I've made so far. If I can manage to go into the 3rd round with card advantage and DB in hand, I am going to win against most decks. Especially Reavers, Swim's disgustingly annoying Skellige Axe damage deck, any Tibor decks and presumably Kayran finishers, although I don't think I've actually seen any so far. Would be good against ScoiaSpell as well, but that deck wrecks me regardless.

Dropbear posted:I've had a lot of fun with my Unseen Elder devour deck; can't wait for the patch since a lot of the cards in it will get boosted. Any suggestions to this? Golds are obviously unoptimal, but I don't have the Kayrans etc. yet. your missing silver is grave hag, and you should absolutely be running all three celaeno harpies. personally i also think devour decks without neckers are better than ones with them, but that's really up to you. devour decks basically need arachas behemoths though, i really don't think the archetype works that well without them. for a devour deck, i'd probably start with a bronze base of something like this and then play a couple of games and see how it works out: 2x ekimmara 3x celaeno harpy 3x arachas 2x vran warrior (not super sure about these tbh) 2x arachas behemoth 1x archgriffin 1x first light 1x bloodcurdling roar the idea is to use the arachas as your version of imperial golems. get a behemoth out at the start of r1, then trigger the consume effect, the behemoth spawns one arachas, which summons all three that are in your deck.

Dropbear posted:Thanks! I really should craft a grave hag, true. The first versions of the deck I tried had Arachas & Behemoths, but removing them seemed to improve my winrate; mulliganing the spiders made getting a consistent starting hand a mess (might just be luck though). The third harpy might be worth it too; it gets tricky to eat all the eggs (this is pretty focused on pumping out & eating Nekkers), but at least the uneaten ones carry over anyways. it really is, and i fully admit i haven't really played around with the consume archetype too much yet, so i might be wrong about those things! the only thing i'm sure about is that grave hag is good, especially now while she still has the bug that using her ability has an internal consume trigger, so it activates arachas behemoth and nekkers.

for the record I meant water hag in my earlier posts, but i think people got that. grave hag is good pretty much only in decks that build around her. the best monster silvers are probably water hag and fiend.

Electronico6 posted:The silver elemental is much better than the fiend. And of course the Crones are probably too good to the point they honestly limit Monster's silver slots and picks. you mean the fire elemental? that card is not better than fiend in any way. fiend is really, really good. edit: and going to get better after the patch if they actually buff fiend to 7 points.

King Pawn posted:Why do people always leave Crones so late? A 20 power swing in round 1 is really nice and it has the added benefit of not loving up your later mulligans. Am I missing something? cause you still need to win round three, and monster decks that crone late don't typically have a big point generator to close games out. on the other hand, monster bronzes are really good so most of the time you should be able to win round one without using crones anyway. in other news, is regis just an auto-win against the scoiatel spell decks? because it felt like it

RatHat posted:Most of those aren't broken, it's just people misunderstanding how they work. that's because activation order is really unintuitive in this game in other news, i hate the loving bears. nothing like sitting on three caelano harpies in your opening hand, and the first thing on the board is a bear.

Subvisual Haze posted:Why even have the numerical ambiguity if one is functionally a 1 turn reaction time and the other is a 2 turn reaction time? I mean I'll be the first to confess to being a knuckledragging illiterate card game plebian, but a more functionally intuitive description would seem like a net boon to everyone? what would that look like? the difference between "does stuff at turn start" and "does stuff at turn end" is pretty important. imagine weathers triggering at turn end so you can pull your units out of the way /clear the weather before they get hit. and if you have that difference, you still want different timers obviously. i'm all for clearer UI (why can i still not see my cards during the mulligan phase if my opponent is still picking ffs) but the gameplay elements should absolutely function the way they do now.

question about bekker's twisted mirror: if there are multiple lowest units in the game, it should be random which one gets the buff right? or does the game prioritize your opponents units somehow? because i just lost two games in a row where my opponent had one really high unit and one unit at 1 strength and i had three 1 strength units on the board neither of which got the buff. i normally don't get mad at video games but that poo poo tilts me like nothing else.

Darke GBF posted:It definitely doesn't do that. It will prioritize same side swaps over damage. Earliest played unit is the priority if a same side swap isn't possible (ie - if you play a harpy after they rot tosser you and then you Bekker's and it's between the cow carcass and the harpy egg, it'll buff the cow carcass). i just had a situation where i had 4 harpy eggs on the board, my opponent had a 14 strength johnny. opponent plays a rot tosser, i play bekker's. gonna let you guess what happened.

alright, i think i'm done with this game for a while. aside from the bugs, the meta right now is just extremely bad and i'm not having fun. it's getting to the point where the main interesting thing to figure out is which one of the two main skellige decks my opponent is running. a meta that makes me actually miss playing against those loving scoiaspell decks is not in a good place. see you all next patch i guess.

Frost will probably be changed to damage highest & lowest unit on the row by one, to bring it back in line with Fog and Rain. I'd be okay with that. Bears should really be 5 strength, Axemen become less of an issue if Frost is changed, Hjalmar should lose one or two points as well, the card is ridiculous with Skellige's easy access to damage. Alternatively the LoU could simply be buffed to 7 and Skellige would immediately be less dominant.

Osmosisch posted:Deck thinning and burst strength, as far as I can tell. Often you won't be given the time to do the W->N->W thing. Also Roach is especially nice with Dandelion. Okay, I see. I'm not good enough either to say that one is better than the other, my reasoning was just that especially with all the deck thinning you should be able to draw into a witcher in R3 fairly reliably. I don't know, I might run your version a little bit and see how it works out. What is your typical R3 finisher?
